Luke_6-28: Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you

“Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you. Pray for the happiness of those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you.”

(Luke 6:27-28)

An attorney came to me with that familiar problem: a business partner he could not tolerate. The two men actually hated each other, criticizing and demeaning one another at every opportunity. Rather than speaking of God’s desires for that relationship, each man focused only on the unlovable traits of the other.

I reminded my friend, a new believer, that God’s Word commands us to love our enemies. I further suggested that he go to that other man, tell him he loved him, and ask his forgiveness for the way he had treated him. The attorney’s eyes grew wide. “I could never love him,” he said.

John_13-34: A…

Romans_8-1:There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit

Romans 8:1-2

There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life in Christ has set me free from the law of sin and death.

Romans_8-2: For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

“Free at last, free at last, praise Lord God Almighty I am free at last.” Becoming a Christian means we have been liberated from law-keeping. We now have God living in us, through the Holy Spirit, to not only help us know His will, but to live it. Through the Spirit’s power, we can do what no law could make us do: live…

Galatians_5-13: For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

“So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.”

(Galatians 5:16)

I like to compare the Christian battle against sin to an individual swimming upstream against a surging current. His progress is slow and tortuous; he is constantly swept backward by powerful undercurrents. Hovering near the swimmer is a speedboat with a powerful motor. He can continue to try to swim upstream or he can choose to climb aboard the speedboat, which can easily whisk him up the river.

We have a similar choice. When battling evil spiritual forces, worldly influences, and our own fleshly temptations, we can either fail miserably by fighting temptation in our own efforts or defeat that sin-current…

1-Corinthians_15-58: Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord

“A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This too, I see, is from the hand of God…”

Ecclesiastes 2:24

Our consumer-driven culture tells us that, unless we have the best TV, the best car, and the best house filled with the best things, then we’re not living life to the fullest. And, isn’t life meant to be lived fully?

As we watch TV shows based in fantasy, we think, “That’s what my house needs to look like. That’s what my car needs to look like.” We may go into debt to make it happen, and then worry about our debt, not having enough, how we’re going to pay…

Romans_8-28: And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.Romans 8:28

We live in an often hostile world. We all experience suffering and disappointment, but God is in the business of using our difficulties and setbacks for our ultimate good.

Joseph dreamed he would be a leader, but after sharing his dream with his brothers, they seized Joseph and sold him into slavery. He was chosen to serve an Egyptian leader named Potiphar. Everything Joseph touched prospered, because the Lord was with him. After serving faithfully in Potiphar’s house, Potiphar’s wife – who was enthralled with young Joseph – tried to entice him and desired to sleep with…

Hebrews_4-16: Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. .God’s Throne Of Grace

Crown Him with many crowns,

The Lamb upon His Throne;

Hark! how the heav’nly anthems drowns

All music but its own:

Awake. My soul, and sing

Of Him who died for thee,

And hail Him as thy matchless king

Thro’ all eternity.

Crown Him the Virgin’s Son.

The God incarnate born.

Whose arm those crimson trophies won

Which now His brow a dorn:

Fruit of the mystic Rose,

As of that Rose the Stem;

The Root whence mercy ever

flows,

The Babe of Bethlehem.

Crown Him the Lord of love:

Behold His hands and side,

Those wounds yet visible above

In beauty glorified:

No…

Psalms_84-11: For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly

Ride on ! ride on in majesty

Hark! all the tribes ‘Hosanna!’ cry;

O Saviour meek, pursue Thy road

With palms and scattered garments strowed.

Ride on! ride on in majesty!

In lowly pomp ride on to die;

Oh Christ, Thy triumphs now begin

Over captive death and conquered sin.

Ride on! ride on in majesty!

The winged squadrons of the

sky

Look down with sad and wondering eyes

To see approaching sacrifice.

Ride on! ride on in majesty!

Thy last and fiercest strife is nigh;

The Father on His sapphire throne

Expects His own anointed Son.

Ride…

Matthew_1-21: And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins

Jesus my Saviour to Bethlehem came

Born in a manger to sorrow and shame;

Oh, it was wonderful – blest be His name!

Seeking for me, for me!

Seeking for me ! for me.. (2ce)

Oh, it was wonderful – blest to

His name!

Seeking for me, for me!

And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

Jesus my Saviour, on Calvary’s

tree

Paid the great debt, and my soul

He set free,

Oh, it was wonderful – How

could it be?

Dying, for me, for me!

Galatians_2-20: I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me

Oh, how sweet the glorious message,

Simple faith may claim;

Yesterday, today, forever, Jesus is the same.

Still He loves to save the sinful,

Heal the sick and lame;

Cheer the mourner, still the tempest,

Glory to His name!

Yesterday, to- day. for ever,

Jesus is the same,

All may change, but Jesus never!

Glory to His name,

Glory to His name,

Glory to His name,

All may change, but Jesus never!

Glory to His name.

Him who pardoned erring Peter,

Never need’st thou fear;

He that came to faithless Thomas,

Psalms_23-1: The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want

While Shepherds watched their flocks by night,

All seated on the ground,

The angel of the Lord came down,

And glory shone around

Fear not! said he; for mighty

dread

Had seized their troubled mind;

Glad tidings of great joy I bring

To you and all mankind.

To you, in David’s town, this day

Is born, of  David’s line,

A Saviour, who is Christ the Lord

And this shall be the sign;

The heavenly Babe you there

shall find

To human view displayed,

All meanly wrapped

In swadding bands

And in a manger laid

Thus spake the seraph: and forth-with

Appeared a shining throng

Of angels praising God, who thus

Addressed their joyful song.

John_1-12: Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God

Christians, awake, salute the happy morn,

Whereon the Saviour of mankind was born:

Rise to adore the mystery of love,

Which hosts of angels chanted from above;

With them the joyful tidings first begun

Of God incarnate and the Virgin’s Son.

Then to the watchful shepherds it was told

Who heard the angelic herald’s voice:

Behold, I bring good tidings of a Saviour’s birth

To you and all the nations upon earth:

This day hath God fulfilled His promised word,

This day is born a Saviour, Christ the Lord.

He spake; and straightway the celestial choir

In hymns of joy, unknown before, conspire,

Thy praises of redeeming love they sang,

And…

John_3-5: Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God

HARK! the herald-angels sing

Glory to the new-born King,

Peace on earth, and mercy mild,

God and sinners reconciled,

Joyful, all ye nations rise,

Join the triumph of the skies;

With the angelic host proclaim,

Christ is born in Bethlehem.

Hark ! the herald-angels sing,

Glory to the new-born King.

Christ, by highest heaven adored,

Christ, the everlasting Lord,

Late in time behold Him come,

Off spring of a virgin’s womb!

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;

Hail the incarnate Deity!

Pleased as Man with men to

dwell,

Jesus, our Immanuel.

Hail the heaven-born Prince of

Peace!

Hail the Sun of Righteousness!

Light and life to…

Psalms_91-11: For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

Angels from the realms of glory,

Wing your flight over all the earth;

Ye who sang creations story,

Now proclaim Messiah’s birth:

Come and worship (2cc)

Worship Christ, the new-born

King!

Shepherds in the field abiding,

Watching over your flocks by

night;

God with man is now residing,

Yonder shines the infant light:

Come and worship (2ce)

Worship Christ, the new-born

King!

Sages, leave your

contemplations;

Brighter visions beam afar;

Seek the great “Desire of nations;

Ye have seen His natal star;

Come and worship (2ce)

Worship Christ, the new-born

King.

Saints, before the altar bending,

Watching long with hope and

fear,

Suddenly the Lord descending,

In His temple shall appear;

Come and worship…

Proverbs_31-30-1: Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised

Proverbs 31:28“Her children rise up and call her blessed, her husband also praises her.”

This past Sunday was Mother’s Day. It was a day we celebrated the women who are most dear in our life. I can’t think of a more fitting verse to honor them with. If you grew up with a loving mom, who cared for and encouraged you, take this verse to heart.

Rise up and let her know how blessed you are. Especially, if she is still around today, make sure you do so. If not, take a moment to thank God for allowing her to have been in your life. If you are a mother or hope to be someday, remember this verse. Let it be your guide as you tackle the everyday challenges of…

Father, I know that I have broken Your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and…

2-Chronicles_7-14: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land

2 Chronicles 33

Hezekiah was a god-fearing king who brought about reformation among the Israelites. His son Manasseh, however, was an evil ruler. He had watched his father walk with God and live according to Scripture. Yet he chose to ignore the Lord.

Manasseh worshipped false gods, even to the point of sacrificing his sons by fire in order to praise Molech. He practiced much evil—including witchcraft and sorcery— and led Israel astray, thereby provoking God to anger. The king, along with the people, paid a high price for his rebellion.

This story illustrates the Lord’s intolerance of a nation’s disregard toward Him

2-Corinthians_2-14: Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place

Mark 8:24-25, “And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.”

MATTHEW 7:7-11; MARK 8:22-25

But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ

It was unusual for Jesus to inquire about the results of His ministry as He did in verse 23. It was even more unusual that Jesus laid hands on this man a second time. This is the only example in the New Testament where Jesus had to minister to any need more than once to affect a total healing.

Many people…
